The Year of the Hare is an international best-selling comic novel in which a man—with the help of a bunny—suddenly realizes what’s important in life. Kaarlo Vatanen is a Finnish journalist (in Finland) who has a life-altering experience where he just up and leaves his boring existence and adventures through Finland. He and his unnamed hare have an unlikely pilgrimage, but without a destination, technically speaking. You’ll have to pry yourself away from the story, if only to make some tea.
